Always fancied yourself living in a magnificent castle, or spending your days on a breathtaking island?

Then we may have just found the dream job for you.

In fact, you could end up ditching the bus in favour of a commute by boat, not to mention you'd be working for one of Cornwall's most beautiful attractions.

That's because the team that looks after St Michael's Mount is hiring - and whoever lands the job can choose to live on the iconic island too.

There's currently a vacancy for a full-time Visitor Services Manager, with a salary range of £24,000-£29,000 up for grabs.

The role will mostly involve looking after visitors and making sure their trips are as seamless as possible, not to mention you'll also be part of the management team running everything behind-the-scenes.

The job description specifies that you'll have "responsibility for the visitor journey from the car parks to the castle and line management of over 30 seasonal employees".

However, it won't be a walk in the park; the attraction welcomed 350,000 visitors last year (according to the job description) so there's plenty to get done.

Still, you'd be working in a seriously beautiful setting; the island offers up spectacular views of the coast, the castle is packed with history and culture, not to mention the breathtaking causeways revealed when the tide goes out.
